Mod Santa

This modern Santa went well with this modern patterned Christmas paper.

And the stockings...

I can honestly say that I created this card from scratch. Should have, however, put a piece of white cardstock on the tops of the stocking before adhering the Flower Soft so it wouldn't be as transparent. I knew the sheet of wood grained patterned paper that I had would come in handy some day. Still looking for burning logs to fill the fireplace.

Another Beaded Border

Instead of paper or ribbon for a border, this time I chose a string of clear beads. I used double sided tape to adhere it to the cardstock.

Row on Row

Sorry for the blurry scan, but the knot in the bow was the culprit. I've made a card of this design before in red, white and black, which was very popular. This is my Christmas version of the same card.

My Favourite Christmas Card

This would be my first choice out of all of the cards I've made this season. Not an original idea, but my own version of it. I didn't have a cardinal, so I created one by cutting an extra piece of cardstock for the top of his head and colouring his "face" in black.
